Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! I am your host as always. RYAN DAVIS GOT MARRIED! If you haven't done so already wish him and his wife the best over here! Also...uhhh...there's a fan-fiction of Ryan's wedding already. Don't tell anyone that I directed you to it. http://www.klepekpower.com/ is a secret that keeps on giving with the power of Klepek. Finally a patch was recent submitted to the site related to the notification system. As part of the patch you have to go back to your settings and set them to your preference as they have been reset as a result of this patch. If you are still having issues with the notification or PM system report them over here.
